false positives?

[acsr1987]

ok so in the past 3 days i have done 4 pg tests, the first a superdrug one with the most faint line ive ever seen, then 2 more digital superdrug ones on seperate days both said pregnant... just done a clear blue digital.... not pregnant
wtf... has anyone else had this?!?!?

The negative is more likely to be false than the positives. Congratulations!

i agree with icing... there mustve been raised pg hormoneto be picked up by a digi test even if not clearblue... even when ive had a chem pg its taken a few days to go back to no hormone...
is it poss that the urine was diluted by drinking before u took it? or that not enough urine was soaked up x

How many dpo have you been when taking the tests? Some PG tests are not as sensitive as they claim to be and should only be used after your period is actually late.

im 2 days late! ugh i feel sick, i feel like i got my hopes up for nothing im fucking gutted

I'd give it a few more days then take another test.

False positives are very very rare, but not totally unheard of, particularly if you've been on any medication to help you conceive. It may just be that you haven't got quite enough HCG for some tests to pick up on yet. It should double every day, so waiting a few days should give you a clearer answer.

i feel so gutted, i just want to crawl into a dark hole and cry

franklys right hun, dont lose heart yet, its not over til its over xxx

i feel so stupid for allowing myself to get excited and now this, i know its early days but i hope i get my period now so i can just try again

Try not to stress and test again in a couple of days.

Good luck

ok so ive started to bleed.... fucking gutted i feel so fucking stupid for letting myself believe that something good would actually happen to me after the year of shit i have just had, fucking gutted

I'm sorry acsr, this TTC journey is so very hard on us all - I've been on it for almost 3 years now.

Indulge yourself for a few days and be kind to yourself. But don't let the sadness take you over, it will not help.

Ahh I'm so sorry acsr what a cruel and unusual thing to happen

Don't lose faith, keep trying. I wish you all the best.

It could be a chemical preg, false positives aren't that common. Hopefully the next bean will stick hon xxx

i just feel like a fucking idiot, it was the first time i got my hopes up since having a mmc last year.
ugh i could scream... what am i doing wrong to keep making suicidal fetuses? for fucks sake

i just feel stupid for getting my hopes up... again.
i just dont understand what im doing wrong and why this has happened, when my first pregnancy i ended up with a healthy big bouncy boy why cant it happen again?
just fucking gutted, been a crying emotional mess for most of the day

omg you totally shouldn't feel stupid! I would have done exactly the same. I'm so sorry this bean didn't stick but it doesn't mean that will always be the case xxx

You have done nothing wrong. Sadly these things do happen, and will happen to most of us. As I said up thread, I've been TTC for almost 3 years now and haven't had a sniff of a pregnancy. However I still get my hopes up every cycle, and every time my period shows up (I try not to POAS unless I'm actually late) I take it bloody hard, but I allow myself only 1 day of wallowing. If you let yourself slip into despair and potential depression you can risk harming your chances of TTC.

I'm not going to tell you not to stress and to "relax" (possibly the most patronising thing you can say to someone TTC ), but I will say you need to be kinder to yourself.

thanks everyone, i just feel all "grrrrrr" and feel like ive been really kicked in the groin! going to docs tomorro to get checked out
i feel so sorry for myself!
